MEAT-MASTER..

ToaZZwwm t may concern:

. Be it known that I, HARRY Lovn, acitizen of the United States, and aresident of Staten Island, West New Brighton, in the county of Richmondand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Meat-Roasters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to cooking appa.- ratus and is directedparticularly to a novel and useful apparatus for roasting meats.

Among the objects of my invention are the providing of a meat roasterthat shall be simple in construction and efficient. in itsoperation. Inparticular my object is to provide an apparatus for roasting meats whichshall have means whereby the meat may be held in any heating apparatusso as to be evenly exposed to the heating surface and` readily rotatedin a horizontal plane. My objectis further to provide means whereby thegravy or meat juices may readily ow down directly into the roast panwithout spreading, and to further provide meat holdin-g apparatus whichis vslidable in the roast pan,V so that the gravy may be made availableto the cook when desired by moving the meat holding apparatus back andforth in the pan. I

Other objects and advantages of this invention will appear from thekdetailed description and the features of novelty will be particularlypointed out in the claims.

In the drawing accompanying this speciication and forming a materialpart thereof,

Figure 1`is a cross-sectional view of my newly improved meat roastingapparatus showing the meat in place onthe turn table, and

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof with the meatremoved.

Referring in Vdetail to the drawing, the embodiment of my inventionthere shown is seen to consist of the roast pan 10 and the supportingframe 11 s lidable thereon. On this supporting frame I mount the meatholder 12 which I make preferably in the form of a turn table rotatablymounted, on the supporting frame and the stand 13, the top of thesupporting frame having a recess 14 therein registering with an opening15 in the top of the stand for the pinion 16 extending down from theturn table. The holdingframe and supporting stand may be secured rigidlytogether at the top by means such as the rivets 17. The turn tableSpecification of Letters Patent. Patented.

is provided with upstanding pointedp'ro- Vjections 18 on which the meat19 may be securelyremovably held. j j. y i

The Vroast 'pan is preferably trapezoidal in cross-section and may bemadeffrom one'- from one sheet of material and is substantially aninverted pan open at the ends and having side walls 23 formedat thebottom` with `extensions 24 bent substantially a't right angles thereto,adapted to rest against the bottom vof the roast pan anda top 25perforated as at 26. I preferably make this.

top portion` corrugated as shown at 27.. This is extremely advantageousin that channels are thus formed whereby the gravyv may easily run downinto the pan from underneath any portion ofthe meatwithout spreading orrunning over the t0p.` -The walls of the channel further serve to shieldthe gravy from the heat rays. .y

The turn table is made Valsov preferably from one sheet of material inthe form substantially of an openc'ylinder ,having its top perforated asat 28 and adapted to rest on vthe supporting frame. In the form shown inthe drawing I have shown 'the pointed meat holders lor 'projections' 18as' punched out from 4the turn table itself, but of course, separateholders might be secured in any suitable manner to the turn table forthe same purpose. It will be noted that the roast pan is considerablylonger than the supporting frame and stand, and the latter are thusslidable together in the pan and may be pushed forward or backward asdesiredV so as to bring the meat farther in or out of the heatingapparatus at the same time uncovering to either side thereof the meatjuices or grav from time to time wish to pour on the meat being roasted,or remove into a separate utensil. Y

It is obvious that the stand portion 13 could be dispensed with if thesupporting frame 11 is made of heavy enough material. It is alsoobviousy that the roast could be laid directly uponuthe frame 11 if theturn table or meat holder 12 is removed. It will be noticed that the topof the frame 11 is located at or near the top edge of the outer pan. Theobject of bringing the top of the turn table or the surface on which thewhich the cook may meat to be roasted is placed near the top of the panis to permit the meat to be rotated on the frame even though it extendsbeyond the same without interfering with the sides of the pan.

The whole construction as will be readily understood' is very simple,neat and compact, may be -made without any difficulty from sheetmaterial each element being in itself integral and thus Carries with itnot only the advantage of efliciency but also' simplicity and cheapness.

l,Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: v

lfA meat roaster comprising a supporting frame, a stand secured theretoand a turn table rotatably mounted on 'said supporting frame and stand,said supporting frame having aperforated lcorrugated top surface, thecorrugations adapted to provide channels throulgh which the meat juicesmay flow.

2. meat roaster comprising a supporting frame, astand secured theretoand a turn table rotatably mounted on said supporting frame andv stand,said supporting frame having a perforated corrugated top surface, thecorrugations adapted to provide channels through which the meat juicesmay4 flow,'and said turn table having a perforated top and meansupstanding therefrom for securely removably holding the meat.

3. A meat roastercomprising a supporting frame7 a stand secured theretoand a turn table rotatably mounted on said supporting frame and stand,said supporting frame having a perforated corrugated top surface, thecorrugations' adapted to provide channels through which the meat juicesmay flow and said turn table having a perforated top and meansupstanding therefrom for securely7 removably holding the meat, each ofsaid members being formed integral from sheet material.V

4. A meat roasting apparatus comprising a roast pan, a supporting frame,a stand within said supporting frame, the tops of said supporting frameand stand being rigidly secured together and a turn table rotatablymounted on said Supporting frame and stand, the latter being bothslidable'in `said roast pan andV holding means for the meat upstanding`from said turn table, said roast pan being substantially longer thansaid supporting frame.'

5. VA meat roaster comprising a supporting frame adapted to rest in apan, the-top of which is perforatedand corrugated and a rotatable membermounted on said frame the top of which is perforated and provided e withprojections.
